Can baby wear a jumper/cardigan in their car seat?

Hey girls! I know babies can’t be in a coat or pram suit in their car seat as it’s unsafe. Does this mean baby can’t be in a car seat with a jumper or cardigan? Do they need to just be in their sleepsuit?

Thin cardigans and jumpers only, nothing thick. Stops the harness from working correctly. Can put a blanket over the car seat loosely once they’re all strapped in x

A thin cardi is more than enough! Pop a blanket over them once they're all strapped in! X

As mentioned, a thin cardigan. But nothing with a hood

You can get special car seat blankets too that go under them then wrap over the straps if you've got a kicker who keeps pushing it off! Means the straps are still nice and snug but little ones warm

these are really not recommended, you shouldn’t add anything to the car seat that it didn’t come with.

these are advised against! X

Our midwife suggested them and the one we've gone with has been crash tested. Cost a bit more but worth the extra for the testing

Are family members entitled to your kids

I need to know if me and my husband are making the right decision for our family.

If you and your sibling have a history of really bad fights that turn verbally and mentally abusive, your sibling has disrespected your partner multiple times, are you going to talk about it, forgive and forget and still allow them in your child’s life or push them away because you won’t allow that behaviour around your child. And does them being family give them any right to having a relationship with your kids

Nursery fee’s (UK)

How much (may I ask) is everyone who pays for nursery actually paying.
As of April our fee’s have increased but I must admit I’m in shock and embarrassed if anything to admit we can’t afford the additional £65 a month it is costing us.

We currently pay £161 now, our son goes
8am-6pm Monday and Friday. As we both work obviously he goes term and none term time.

What do I do he’s in a “contract” technically with the nursery. It’s currently taking 3 days wages to afford the £161 we pay now. I understand we use the government top up pot but he’s only claiming 20 out of the funded hours and I don’t know what to do!

How do people make marriages work

I got married to my husband when I was 17 he was 19. Got married cause I got pregnant with my oldest. My husband wasn’t faithful to me and years later I wasn’t faithful to him. I tried ending the marriage. But he wanted to try to make it work out. Well I have been trying but everytime I turn around my mistakes that I have made he throws them in my face or he will make comments about how I I haven’t messaged any other guys and all this and that. I’m so over it. I love my husband and I wanted to make it work but I’m to the point to where I just want to crawl under a rock and just let go. I feel like I’m not wanted and I feel like I’m an even worse mother. I’m on medication for depression and axienty but I haven’t been taking it daily I only take it when I feel like I need it. I just don’t know where I fit in in my marriage I don’t know what I want to do with my life. I’m 27 I have 4 kids and I just feel like I’m alone.

Stupid comments made by husbands

Anybody elses husband or significant other just make comments without ever thinking? have total foot in mouth syndrome or is it just mine? For example my friend and I were talking on the phone about how her baby daddy cheated on her after I got off the phone my husband proceeds to tell me that now that he is a dad he understands why men with kids cheat but he does not condone it. thoughts?

Going out

Where are you taking baby out atm while they are still just a few weeks old?

What age will you start taking them out properly e.g. to coffee shops, classes, theme parks (for older sibling), play dates, farm etc?

Is this insanely overpriced? I posted on my local support group for parents of kids with disabilities asking about summer camps....

I got a message about a daycare that will be holding 3 different summer programs that run for 3 days in the last week of July for 450 dollars per child. 450 dollars for 3 days of "camp" seems like a rip off to me especially being for kids with disabilities???
